Google has introduced new touch-up tools in the Google Photos image editor. The update adds face-focused editing options that allow quick and subtle adjustments directly within the app.
Google said photos should capture how users feel in the moment. The new tools are aimed at enabling small refinements such as improving skin texture, removing blemishes, brightening eyes, and whitening teeth in seconds.
